A proven, practical guide on how to break the bonds that break us and build the bonds that strengthen us, from the acclaimed author of “Welcome Home”.

Whoever broke you cannot heal you, only you can do that.

This is not just a fact, but a turning point, a wake-up call, and a liberation.Most of us are still attached to the people who hurt us, waiting for them to end it, to see us as worthy of their change or regret, and to apologize. True healing begins when you stop giving control to those who broke you, and start writing your own healing story. Instead, you decide to put your broken pieces back together with a golden thread of self-love and inner wisdom.We are connected to others in our romantic relationships and friendships, in our families and at work. These connections affect us in ways that may make us feel stagnant, unnecessary, or unstable. These connections can also make us feel valued, respected, and truly loved*. He Who Broke You Can't Heal You explores seven types of bonds that bind us to others: comfortable bonds, trauma bonds, toxic bonds, coercive bonds, enabling bonds, utilitarian bonds, andHealth.

You can learn to recognize the bonds that weaken you and those that strengthen you. You can shine light on these hidden threads and realize which ones need to be released, which need to be repaired, and where new, healthier threads need to form.

In these pages, Najwa guides you to:Give up the illusion of closure and make peace with your past

Break the patterns and beliefs that keep you attached to pain and to those who caused it.

  • Regain your strength in all your relationships

Plant the seeds of relationships rooted in depth, security, and authenticity.
